Teach me about: Davey Richards

[Harbinger]

More gifs of davey concussing & breaking mofos & less racism preaching.

[Big Fresh]

People are offended by the term "wigger"????

[Cole Miner]

People are offended by the term "wigger"????

I can't believe this isn't obvious to people. The word is calling blacks from the hip hop culture they are emulating niggers. 

[Buy Me a Burrito]

It's not a good term.

[cool arrow]

People are offended by the term "wigger"????

 

Some people are offended by much less than that, so yeah.

[Tromatagon]

Im offended that he called Jack Evans stupid

[Web Conn]

Was Davey the heel in his match with Jack?

I prefer wegro

[IpponDropkick]

I've never met anybody offended by the term wigger. Knowing the origins of the word does not mean it's the same as that word. Just because it shares an origin, doesn't mean it has the same effect. What with their not being hundreds of years of negative cultural context and all.

 

I like Davey. Flat out. I acknowledge of his flaws and like him anyway, mostly because a lot of his detractors say "That spot makes no sense in front of 200 people in a tiny gym!" For me, it's like telling someone they shouldn't act as well in an independent film. 

[TimLivingston]

Davey made his NXT debut tonight and took the name Derrick Billington. Yeah, I would have NEVER guessed him taking the last name of the Dynamite Kid.

[Territorial]

And....?  I don't really see an issue (other than Derek Billington not being a particularly exciting choice),

[Matt D]

The Rabid Kid, Derek Billington.

Being an "intense" actor won't put you in a wheelchair.

[Matt D]

It might give you a meth addiction though.

I think the wheelchair post above is probably the most appropriate response to this. But, as well, I don't think most of his stuff would work in front of 30,000 people, unless there was a Roman Emperor sitting there giving a thumbs down to end the match.

It's not a problem, it's just funny in how unsurprising it is.

[RIPPA]

If y'all aren't going to actually talk about Davey Richards, then please shut the fuck up.

 

First and only warning for this thread.

[MORELOCK]

Wasn't it reported somewhere that the NXT talent helps come up with their own names? If so...yeah.

[John Austin]

This week's NWA Smoky Mountain TV has a great Chase Owens vs Davey Richards match, last time they had a great match, partly because I believe Chase was trying to reign in some of Davey's stuff and make it better.

It starts at about 7:54 in if anyone's interested

I am kinda sad this thread doesn't have more gifs. I feel like all you really need to know about Davey Richards is that the only people who are impressed are the ones making the gifs. I just like looking at the gifs because half of my brain can't process what the fuck it just saw and the other half is too busy laughing at it.

[Brian Fowler]

Nevermind.

ROH isn't friendly at all towards gifs unfortunately, which is probably the reason.

See, I would have gone with The Davey Kid personally. 

Or take it a step further.

THE DAVEYMITE KID~!

[NintendoLogic]

I literally just now realized how close American Wolves is to British Bulldogs.

Yes and it is rather tiresome to still see the slave name narrative.
